Definitions
- the invention relates to methods and apparatus for the provision of positive pressure ventilatory assistance for patients with cardiac failure or Cheyne-Stokes breathing from any cause, including central sleep apnea, cardiac failure or stroke.
- respiratory airflow is intended to refer to the instantaneous flow of gas into or out of the lungs.
- the term “average” is intended to mean any measure of central tendency or the result of any low pass filtering operation.
- Ventilatory support is intended to mean any procedure which has a similar effect as the respiratory muscles, particularly the supply of breathable gas under varying positive pressure to the airway via a nosemask, face mask, endotracheal tube, tracheotomy tube, or the like, but also including other procedures such as negative pressure ventilation, cuirasse, iron lung, external chest compression, or rocking bed ventilation.
- ventilation can mean either a procedure, as in the expression “positive pressure ventilation”, or a measure of average respiratory airflow over a period of time.
- Instantaneous ventilation is intended to mean the volume inspired over a short period of time less than several seconds. Equally it can be calculated as the volume expired over such a period, or it can be the average of the two. For example, measures of instantaneous ventilation would include half the average of the absolute value of the respiratory airflow, calculated over a time interval short compared with several seconds, or half the absolute value of the respiratory airflow, low pass filtered with a time constant short compared with several seconds. For technical reasons to be explained below, in the best embodiment, instantaneous ventilation is taken as half the absolute value of the instantaneous respiratory airflow, ie averaged over an arbitrarily short period of time. However, it is not intended that the invention is limited to calculating instantaneous ventilation in this way.
- varying A inversely with B is intended in the broad sense of increasing A if B is decreasing, and decreasing A if B is increasing.
- controller refers to a feedback controller accepting an input, or controlled, variable (for example actual measured ventilation) and a reference quantity (for example a desired or target ventilation), and producing an output (for example the settings of a ventilator) which is used to subsequently bring the value of the input (controlled) variable towards the value of the reference variable.
- variable for example actual measured ventilation
- reference quantity for example a desired or target ventilation
- opposite can include reduce, limit, dampen, or prevent.
- Cheyne-Stokes breathing is an abnormal limit cycle instability of the patient's respiratory controller in which there are rhythmic alternating periods of waxing and waning ventilation, causing repetitive deoxygenation and reoxygenation of the arterial blood.
- the cause of the waxing and waning of ventilation is not entirely clear, but there is an increase in chemoreceptor gain [Wilcox I et al. Ventilatory control in patients with sleep apnoea and left ventricular dysfnction: comparison of obstructive and central sleep apnoea.
- CPAP Continuous positive airway pressure
- nasal CPAP is often poorly tolerated by patients with cardiac failure, particularly early on in treatment, and it has not become widely used. The reasons for the poor tolerance are unknown.
- nasal CPAP reduces, but unfortunately does not immediately suppress the Cheyne-Stokes breathing [Naughton M T et al. Effect of continuous positive airway pressure on central sleep apnea and nocturnal PCO 2 in heart failure. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1994; 150:1598-1604].
- FIG. 1 shows persistent Cheyne-Stokes breathing in a patient with cardiac failure being treated with bilevel ventilatory support with timed backup.
- the subject is in stage 3 non-REM sleep.
- the polygraph tracings are arterial haemoglobin oxygen saturation (top tracing), chest wall movement (middle tracing), and mask pressure (bottom tracing).
- the Cheyne-Stokes breathing persists.
- volume cycled ventilators regardless of the trigger variable
- time triggered ventilators regardless of the cycling variable
- Volume cycled ventilators and high impedance pressure cycled ventilators do not permit the patient to increase or decrease ventilation voluntarily, which is also distressing to the patient.
- Subjects with Cheyne-Stokes breathing may be particularly distressed by inadequate volume settings, due to their high chemoreceptor gain.
- ventilatory assistance devices are designed to replace or augment respiratory effort in subjects with respiratory failure or insufficiency, and by design, cause a net increase in mean ventilation above the subject's spontaneous mean ventilation.
- ventilatory assistance causes or exacerbates hypocapnia and alkalosis, leading in turn to reflex upper airway and particularly vocal cord closure during sleep [Jounieux et al. Effects of nasal positive pressure hyperventilation on the glottis in normal sleeping subjects. J Appl Physiol 1995; 79:186-193].
- ventilatory support Far from treating the disordered breathing, excessive ventilatory support will actually produce closed airway central apneas.
- Some ventilatory assistance devices in an attempt to provide increased comfort, support ventilation specifically during periods of increased patient effort (for example proportional assist ventilation and all classes of ventilators with spontaneous triggering without timed backup). This will yet further enhance any tendency to cyclically disordered breathing during sleep.
- awake comfort can usually only be achieved by overventilation, with alkalosis and consequent airway closure in sleep. Overventilation and alkalosis can sometimes be extremely dangerous. Indeed, in patients with cardiac failure and acute pulmonary edema, bilevel ventilation with fixed high pressure swings appears to be associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction [Mehta et al. Randomized prospective trial of brevet versus continuous positive airway pressure in acute pulmonary oedema. Crit Care Med 1997; 25:620-628].
- Another approach to the overventilation problem is to provide ventilatory assistance only during periods of reduced subject efforts, for example by triggering the ventilator only if the subject has not produced an inspiration for at least a specified period of time.
- This is unsatisfactory for three reasons. Firstly, during spontaneous breathing, this solution will not provide any increase in comfort over normal CPAP, and this was one of the problems to be solved. Secondly, the sudden abrupt increase in support at the onset of an apnea will in general tend to awaken the patient from sleep, leading to both sleep fragmentation and transient overventilation leading to further sleep disordered breathing. Thirdly, as with all previous methods, it is difficult to set the level of support during periods of central apnea high enough to prevent Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apneas, but not so high as to produce airway closure.
- the target ventilation needs to be chosen, and this can be difficult: too high a value will lead to overventilation, while too low a value will permit some residual Cheyne-Stokes breathing.
- the ideal target ventilation is not constant.
- the present invention is directed to providing a subject with cardiac failure positive airway pressure therapy, to achieve an improvement in the symptoms and signs of cardiac failure similar to that afforded by CPAP, by modulating the mask pressure in such a way as to provide increased comfort without overventilation, hypocapnia, alkalosis, or upper airway closure.
- the present invention is further directed to the stabilization or prevention of Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea from many causes.
- the invention discloses a method for treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing, or central sleep apnea, comprising the steps of:
- the invention further discloses apparatus for the treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea, comprising:
- a servo-controller operable to control the degree of ventilatory support provided by said ventilatory support device to oppose short-term changes in said measure of instantaneous ventilation, but permit longterm changes in said measure of instantaneous ventilation.

- the invention further discloses apparatus for treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea, comprising:
- the invention yet further discloses apparatus for treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea, comprising:
- a servo-controller whose input variable is a function of said measure of the subject's instantaneous ventilation, and whose reference variable is said target ventilation;
- the invention also discloses apparatus for the treatment of cardiac failure, Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea, comprising:
- ventilator means for providing ventilatory support with controllable amplitude and rate
- servo-control means operable to adjust the amplitude of the pressure support by low pass filtering said instantaneous ventilation signal to derive a measure of recent average ventilation, setting a target ventilation equal to a fraction of said measure of recent average ventilation, and servo-controlling said measure of instantaneous ventilation to at least equal the target ventilation, and further operable to continuously adjust said rate by modulating said positive pressure in phase with respiratory airflow to the extent that the instantaneous ventilation equals or exceeds said target ventilation, and modulating said positive pressure at a pre-set rate to the extent that the instantaneous ventilation is less than said target ventilation.
- Embodiments of the invention provide a degree of ventilatory support which many subjects will perceive as very comfortable. Cheyne-Stokes breathing is reduced or eliminated. Unlike the case of prior art taught in International Publication No. WO98/12965, the physician is not required to estimate or empirically determine a target ventilation, as this is done automatically. The risk of overventilating the subject and causing alkalosis or airway closure is also reduced.

- FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing, for the preferred embodiment, how the degree of assistance will remain at the minimum level if the subject's ventilation steadily decreases over a very long time period.
- FIG. 2 A ventilator embodying one form of the invention is shown in FIG. 2 in which a blower 10 supplies breathable gas to a mask 11 for communication with a subject's airway via a delivery tube 12 and exhausting to atmosphere via an exhaust 13 .
- Airflow at the mask 11 is measured using a pneumotachograph 14 and a differential pressure transducer 15 .
- the mask flow signal 22 from the transducer 15 is sampled by a microcontroller 16 .
- Mask pressure is measured at port 17 using a pressure transducer 18 .
- the pressure signal 24 from the transducer 18 is also sampled by the microcontroller 16 .
- the microcontroller 16 sends an instantaneous mask pressure request signal 26 to a servo 19 , which compares the pressure request signal (ie. the desired pressure signal) 26 with the actual pressure signal 24 from the transducer 18 to control a motor 20 driving the blower 10 .
- the microcontroller 16 settings can be adjusted via a serial port 21 .
- the mask could equally be replaced with a tracheotomy tube, endotracheal tube, nasal pillows, or other means of making a sealed connection between the air delivery means and the subject's airway.
- the microcontroller 16 accepts the mask airflow and pressure signals 22 , 24 , and from said signals determines the instantaneous flow through any leak between the mask and subject, by any convenient method.
- the conductance of the leak may be estimated as the instantaneous mask airflow low pass filtered with a time constant of 10 seconds, divided by the similarly low pass filtered square root of the instantaneous mask pressure, and the instantaneous leakage flow may be calculated as said conductance multiplied by the square root of the instantaneous mask pressure. Respiratory airflow is then calculated as the instantaneous mask airflow minus said instantaneous leakage flow.
- the microcontroller 16 now determines the subject's recent average absolute respiratory airflow as the 100 second low pass filtered absolute value of the respiratory airflow.
- the 100 second time constant is chosen because it is long compared with the lung-chemoreceptor delay in patients with Cheyne-Stokes breathing or central sleep apnea (typically up to 20 sec), and somewhat longer than the cycle time of typical Cheyne-Stokes breathing of about 60 seconds. Longer time constants will in principle give better suppression of Cheyne-Stokes breathing as long as the subject's chemoreceptor set-point is constant, but will take longer to settle at sleep onset and longer to track changes in set-point.
- the term “recent average” is used in the sense of recent compared with an entire night's sleep. However, compared with “instantaneous” ventilation, which is measured on a timescale of a single breath or less, the 100 second low pass filtered absolute value of the respiratory airflow is, of course, a longterm average.
- a target absolute respiratory airflow is then calculated as 95% of said recent average absolute respiratory airflow. Larger values can result in positive feedback leading to drift in the ventilation, while smaller values will permit residual Cheyne-Stokes breathing.
- FIG. 5 shows the above steps schematically.
- the top tracing in the figure is respiratory airflow.
- the second tracing, labelled “Instantaneous Ventilation 1 ”, is the absolute value of the respiratory airflow.
- the bottom tracing shows, schematically, another measure of instantaneous ventilation, labelled “Instantaneous Ventilation 2 ”, which is Instantaneous Ventilation 1 low pass filtered with a time constant of a few breaths.
- Instantaneous Ventilation 2 as a measure of ventilation, could equally be schematically the recent average ventilation and the target ventilation.
- a microcontroller now calculates a mask pressure modulation amplitude A.
- the object of this step is to modulate the pressure modulation amplitude in a direction opposite to changes in the output from the subject's own respiratory controller, providing more support when the subject is making shallow efforts, and less support when the subject is making strong efforts, thus stabilizing the subject's breathing. It is necessary in this step that the servo-controller should have a delay that is very short compared with the delay in the subject's own respiratory controller; a long delay would further destabilize the subject's breathing.
- a proportional or integral controller were fed with a measure of the subject's ventilation taken over many seconds, for example, longer than the case of “Instantaneous Ventilation 2 ” in FIG. 5 , the controller delay would be too long.
- a proportional controller were supplied with the rectified instantaneous respiratory airflow (as in Instantaneous Ventilation 1 in FIG. 5 )
- the controller output would be varying out of phase with the subject's breathing efforts, and the subject would perceive an increase in the work of breathing.
- a clipped integral controller is fed with Instantaneous Ventilation 1 , the absolute value of the respiratory airflow.
- the process of integration both smooths and delays within-breath changes in the amplitude A, so that the subject does not perceive any increase in work of breathing.
- a suitable algorithm is as follows:
- the minimum amplitude (3 cmH20 being a suitable value suitable for most subjects) is chosen to be of the order of 50% of the estimated amplitude required to perform all the respiratory work of the subject in the steady state. A minimum value of this order of magnitude provides much improvement in comfort over a minimum value of zero.
- the maximum amplitude (12 cmH20 being typical) is chosen to be approximately double the amplitude that would perform all the respiratory work of the subject (and therefore sufficient to support the subject's breathing if they cease making any efforts) but less than a value that would be uncomfortable or dangerous.
- P 0 is an end expiratory pressure, typically 5-10 cmH 2 O, but chosen to be sufficient to treat any underlying obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
- the respiratory phase is taken as bivalued: inspiratory if the instantaneous respiratory airflow is positive, and expiratory otherwise, and II( ⁇ ) is unity for inspiration and zero for expiration. If phase has been expiratory for more than a set time, chosen to be slightly longer than the subject's normal expiratory time, then the phase is switched to inspiratory.
- ⁇ is a continuous variable from zero to 1 revolution, and the pressure waveform template II( ⁇ ) is as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the microcontroller determines ⁇ using the following fuzzy logic rules:
- the fuzzy extent to which the airflow is “large”, “steady”, etc can be determined with suitable membership functions.
- Rules 1-4 estimate the phase directly from the instantaneous respiratory airflow.
- Rule 5 permits an expiratory pause, whose length may be long if the subject has recently been breathing adequately, and short or zero if the subject is not breathing. This is particularly appropriate for subjects with Cheyne-Stokes breathing, because an expiratory pause should not be permitted if the subject is apneic.
- Rules 6-7 provide for quick resynchronization in the event that the subject breathes irregularly.
- Rule 8 provides the equivalent of a timed backup, in which, to the extent that the subject has stopped breathing or is not adequately breathing, the ventilator will cycle at a suitable fixed rate.
- Rule 9 provides that to the extent that the subject is breathing adequately, the ventilator will tend to track the subject's recent average respiratory rate. This is particularly appropriate in subjects with cardiac failure and Cheyne-Stokes breathing, whose respiratory rate tends to be extremely steady despite rhythmic changes in amplitude.
- An effect of the changing degree of activation of rules 8 and 9 is that, to the fuzzy extent that the instantaneous ventilation equals or exceeds the target ventilation, ventilatory support will be provided in phase with the subject's own respiratory efforts, and to the extent that the instantaneous ventilation is less than the target ventilation, ventilatory support will be provided at a pre-set rate.
- the weighting of rules 1-6 can be made proportional to the fuzzy extent that the instantaneous ventilation is large compared with the target ventilation. This strengthens the tendency for the device to act as described in the previous paragraph.
- the weighting of rules 1-6 and also of rule 9 can be made smaller, and the weighting of rule 8 can be larger, if the leak is large, or if there is a sudden change in the leak.
- ventilatory support will be provided as described in the preceding paragraphs, but to the extent that the respiratory airflow signal is of poor quality and it is difficult to synchronize reliably with the patient's efforts, or to know if the patient's efforts are adequate, ventilatory support will be provided in an orderly manner at a predetermined fixed rate.
- the target ventilation is only 95% of the spontaneous ventilation
- the actual ventilation will be slightly higher than the target ventilation, and the integrator determining amplitude A will remain clipped at the minimum amplitude. If there is a primary reduction in the subject's ventilation of more than 5% due to a primary reduction in ventilatory effort or increase in airway resistance, there will be an immediate and rapid increase in the amplitude A by sufficient to maintain ventilation at a level of at least 95% of the previous spontaneous level, thus preventing hypopneas.
- FIG. 6 An example is shown schematically in FIG. 6 .
- the subject For the first 4 breaths, the subject is making steady respiratory efforts, and the pressure modulation amplitude A remains at the minimum value of 3 cmH 2 0. Respiratory airflow is due to the combined efforts of subject and ventilation apparatus. At the first vertical line, I, the subject's spontaneous efforts cease.
- the amplitude A quickly increases to the maximum of 10 cmH 2 0, restoring respiratory airflow to almost its original level.
- the subject recommences spontaneous respiratory efforts at the previous level, and the degree of machine generated support quickly reduces again.
- the subject will be ventilated at the preset respiratory rate, due to the operation of fuzzy rule 8.
- support is provided in phase with the subject's efforts. These may be slower than the preset rate (as in FIG. 6 ) or they may be faster than the preset rate.
- the subject can acutely increase their spontaneous ventilation at will. Transient increases in ventilation for example due to brief arousals will lead to a small degree of hypocapnia, but the resultant secondary reduction or cessation in subject's efforts will again be immediately matched by an increase in amplitude A sufficient to hold ventilation at a level of at least 95% of the previous steady level. Conversely, gradual changes in the subject's chemoreceptor set-point over minutes will result in gradual changes in target ventilation, which will remain at 95% of the subject's actual ventilation. This is shown schematically in FIG. 7 . The lower tracing shows respiratory airflow gradually decreasing over a 30 minute period. The calculated recent average ventilation and target ventilation (middle trace) similarly decline over the thirty minutes. However, since the recent average ventilation is always larger than the target ventilation, the degree of support always remains at the minimum (top tracing).
- An embodiment of the invention was tested in ten patients with severe cardiac failure and Cheyne-Stokes breathing during sleep.
- the target ventilation was initially set to 5-7.5 L/min, and the end expiratory pressure P 0 was set to 8 cmH 2 0.
- the patients were tested on each one of a control night (no assistance), nasal oxygen at 2 L/min, CPAP (7-10 cmH 2 O as tolerated, bi-level CPAP (ResMed VPAP-STTM machine, with VPAP at 4 cmH 2 0 and IPAP at 12-18 cmH 2 0 as required, with the backup rate at 2 L/min below the spontaneous rate), and a prototype of the present applicant's Auto CSTM machine.
- apnea+hypopnea index AHI
- ASDA microarousal index ARI
- SWS percentage of time in slow wave
- REM sleep was calculated using standard procedures. The results are presented as mean.+ ⁇ .sem. The statistical analysis is repeated measures ANOVA after rank transform.
- FIG. 4 shows the same subject as FIG. 1 , also in stage 3 non-REM sleep, but this time using the new device.
- the mask pressure swings are broadly comparable with those in FIG. 1 , but very small changes with time can be seen, as the device opposes any changes in the subject's ventilation. It is clear that the subject's ribcage movement (ie. measured using a thoracic respiratory band) and oxygen saturation (Sa02) are greatly stablized compared with FIG. 1 , and Cheyne-Stokes breathing has been eliminated.
- the period of unstable breathing immediately after sleep onset could be eliminated by asking the subject to remain awake for 20 minutes after applying the mask and before going to sleep, in order to minimize overbreathing immediately prior to sleep onset.
